Verizon allowed me to upgrade early!

My upgrade wasn't until 04/2012. Out of a whim, I logged onto my account to see if I could potentially try and call CS and request an early upgrade. When I logged in, it told me I was eligible for an upgrade!

Lucky you! I tried to get them to let my husband (second line) upgrade 4 months early. We are both upgrading from dumb phones, so you'd think they'd approve it. No go. So Verizon just lost two long-time customers, and AT&T got new ones. It's worth the early termination fee to us.

16gb WHITE iPhone 4s coming my way

Not on a family plan. I'm not really sure why they are letting me upgrade early. I did have to pay a $20 fee though for upgrading early which is fine by me. I have no desire to call to figure it out either.

The exact same thing happened to me this morning. Paid $20 and bingo new 4s headed my way. Thank you Verizon! Well of course as much as most of us upgrade and the length that we have been customers I think we kinda deserve it...

Same thing happened to me. I got an email from Verizon, clicked on my line, which was showing I was eligible for an upgrade to the new 4S. For an additional $20, I will have the new phone in my hot little hands on the 14th!!!!!

I've seen a big improvement in the quality of customer service at my local ATT store. The reception in the areas I use my phone most is excellent. You are making a generalization based on what? I left verizon for ATT because we get a higher corporate discount & it was a good move for me and the hubby. Do we really need carrier bashing? Sheesh!

Haha my friends and I go back and forth all the time when we are drunk whether ATT or Verizon is better. Nobody wins but it's fun nevertheless.

I had just gotten the iPhone 4 a few months ago! Oh, wow!!!

Before February last year, Verizon let the primary line on the account upgrade every year with only charging an extra $20 fee. So if you upgraded more then a year ago, and are the primary line that is why you were able to upgrade. It doesn't an earlier date when you are on the main Verizon page, but like you did when you click on the phone it will give you the upgrade price.

Well I am sorry...I can understand your frustration. But that's how it is with contracts. Is adding a line not an option for you? I'm just asking to help you explore options.

That was what the person was saying...they would cancel and pay the termination just because they couldn't upgrade early at a subsidized price. They always come out with new versions of the iPhone ... it's hard to keep up.
